What do you all think about it? I haven't read Mr Lachman's screed yet. It might give some perspective.

I suppose we could also discuss the OrthoBro movement that seems to be picking up many of the disillusioned right-wing Catholics in the United States. Putin seems to speak to their man-o-sphere. Anyone have thoughts about that?
That is a fascinating topic in it's own right, and worthy of it's own thread but it makes sense to discuss it here too.
I think the Orthodox movement speaking to disillusioned Catholics, and Conservatives in general, speaks less to anything about Putin and being 'Pro Russia' and more to speaking to these people's need for a more traditional Christianity.
They have a need for a religion that they see is more in line with traditional Christian teaching, which is anti-banking, anti-homosexual, and at it's heart, anti-political.
They see the Catholic church in the West being co opted by Progressivist and Marxist tendencies like the (in their eyes faux) Pope, Argentinian Francis and his support for all sort of globalist 'nonsense' as very anti Catholic. In much the same way they say Macron is pro globalist and anti-France.
